Nico Williams

Recent reports from July 2026 state that multiple clubs, including Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester United, are prepared to pay Nico Williams' release clause, valued at €90 million. In the preceding months of 2026, his valuation was frequently discussed in the €80-€100 million bracket, with some reports suggesting Athletic Club might accept an €80 million fee, while others cited a release clause as high as €100 million. This marks a significant increase from the period before his July 2025 contract extension, when his release clause was consistently reported to be between €58 million and €60 million.

Our valuation is driven by the consistently reported release clause for Nico Williams, which was set at approximately €90 million after his contract extension in July 2025. The most recent rumours from 2026 indicate strong interest from multiple Premier League clubs, including Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester United, who are reportedly prepared to trigger this clause. Reports that Athletic Club might be willing to negotiate for a slightly lower figure, around €80 million, inform the lower end of our range.
